Chapter 073: Teaching Soldiers From Slaves to Generals
Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime. This is also a saying often spoken by Gao Qiang’s instructor during special forces training at the military academy. Could it be that Chen Wu is also the master of time travel?
Regardless of whether Chen Wu, like Gao Qiang, traveled from China a thousand years later, Chen Wu's training of soldiers was very reasonable. However, Liu Qi was a little dissatisfied with Chen Wu's method of whipping soldiers.
If Chen Wu didn't change his bad temper, he might sooner or later end up like Meng Zhang Fei, the famous general of the Three Kingdoms. When he went to conquer Soochow, his soldiers hurriedly pulled off white silk uniforms to avenge his second brother Guan Yu. Because he couldn't prepare a plan within a short time, he was anxious and angry.
, he whipped the soldiers out of anger, and his fame fell into the hands of a few tailors, which is the origin of the saying "Zhang Fei died at the hands of tailors".
In order to save Chen Wu who might lose his life by whipping soldiers in the future, Liu Qi decided to teach Chen Wu a lesson and undermine Chen Wu's prestige. He pretended to be angry and said: "Chen Wu, what you said makes sense, and it makes sense to me."
, but the soldiers who were whipped may not understand it. If you think about it from another angle, they are all serving as soldiers to eat food. They should share the same hatred and kill enemies on the battlefield, but before they go into battle, they are whipped by their brothers. What do you think? What would you think?
Will you feel resentful?"
"This..." Chen Wu blushed and lowered his head: "Young Master is right to teach you a lesson, I was wrong."
Chen Wu can admit his mistakes, which is already very difficult for Chen Wu who only accepts death.
Liu Qi patted Chen Wu on the shoulder again and said: "Actually, you have done nothing wrong. What's wrong with devil training? Strict masters make good disciples. But in the future, we must pay attention to the methods. While strictly demanding, we must also use love.
To influence them and educate them with vivid examples. An army with love will be more lethal on the battlefield, do you understand?"
Chen Wu nodded vigorously and replied loudly: "Understood." It was quite a bit like the tough style of later generations of soldiers.
"You go back to camp now and ask for Huan'er to get my spare medicine box and three large cloaks."
"Yes." Chen Wu responded and ran away.
"Wait a minute." Liu Qi stopped Chen Wu, untied the reins tied to the tree trunk, and said, "Go on horseback."
When Chen Wu mounted his horse, Liu Qi thought of something again and warned, "Oh, don't take over that brocade robe and cloak."
"Yes." Chen Wu roughly understood Liu Qi's intention of getting the medicine box and cloak, but he didn't quite understand why he didn't get the brocade robe and cloak. However, you don't need to understand what the young master said, as long as it doesn't break.
Immediately after the execution, Chen Wu drove his horse back to the camp.
Liu Qi turned around and walked quickly to the school grounds. When the valley soldiers who had exhausted a lot of physical strength saw Liu Qi approaching, the tired and panting soldiers lying on the ground turned pale with fright. They used all their strength to flip over the bluestone slabs on their backs and immediately lined up with their chests raised.
They raised their backs and shouted in unison: "Master, please don't drive."
"Thank you for your hard work, heroes." Liu Qi did not scold the soldiers, but smiled at them and walked straight towards the three soldiers who were tied to the tree with their bare arms and covered in bloodstains after being whipped by Chen Wu.
"Young Master, please stay away." The three soldiers lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Liu Qi, their faces full of shame.
"Strong men, you have suffered." Liu Qi stepped forward and personally untied the ropes of the three soldiers. While doing so, he said to the soldiers in a tone of blaming Chen Wu, "Oh, this Chen Wu, I really don't know what to say about him. They are all brothers."
, why do you have such a heavy hand?"
"Master, please don't drive. Please don't blame General Wu. It's the young man who is inferior to others and deserves to be punished." A soldier hurriedly explained that he was worried that Liu Qi had punished Chen Wu. If Chen Wu took it out on them, it would not be the same.
A whip can solve the problem.
"I know all this. I criticized Chen Wu. He is very impatient. I hope you are all like tigers and wolves and can kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds today. Ten fingers are still long or short. How can you become fat in a day? Slowly
Just take your time." Liu Qi continued to comfort and encourage, "I believe that all of you will become generals in the future."
Chen Wu had quickly arrived at the school grounds. He said, "Master," and handed the medicine box and three Liu Qi's cloaks to the soldiers next to him.
: "Brother, I'm sorry, I did something wrong. Master has criticized me. If I do something wrong in the future, please remind me in time and I will correct it."
"General Wu, it's just a young man, it's none of General Wu's business." The three soldiers saw Liu Qi personally coming to comfort them, and seeing Chen Wu take the initiative to express his humility, the slightest resentment in their hearts had long been resolved.
"You guys squat down." Liu Qi said softly. The three soldiers were very obedient and squatted down immediately. Liu Qi took the spare medicine box, took out some commonly used medicine for bruises and other injuries, and carefully treated the wounds of the three injured soldiers.
, applied ointment, and finally put the three cloaks ordered by Huang Wudie three years ago on the three injured soldiers. The injured soldiers were moved to tears, and they all knelt down to Liu Qi, crying.
He said that he would train hard in the future and swear to be loyal to the young master.
Liu Qi helped the wounded soldier up and said, "Return to the team." He turned around and stared solemnly at the soldiers standing in line but remained silent. Chen Wu saw him and reminded him: "Master, give me a message for your brothers."
Liu Qi nodded. It was okay to say one or two sentences at this time. If you say too much, it would be redundant and lose its effect. Applying medicine to the whipped soldiers and giving them cloaks is the best love education, and behavior is the most important.
Good explanation. The soldiers are not fools. What they just said and done is what the soldiers have seen with their own eyes. It is a blessing in life to be loyal to such a considerate master. Who doesn’t want to go from slave to general in front of an enlightened and caring master?
Woolen cloth?
Seeing Liu Qi's solemn expression, the soldiers lined up in neat lines were waiting quietly for Liu Qi's lecture.
Liu Qi straightened his clothes, took a few steps forward, walked to the middle of the queue, stood side by side, raised his voice, it was time to sing a high-pitched song to boost morale, and said loudly: "My heroes, the Han Dynasty is in danger today, and the Han Dynasty is in danger.
The thieves are trying to seize power. We should work hard to support the country and bring peace to the people. Today, the Ming Dynasty is unstoppable. I want to build an invincible and invincible strong army to fight for the safety of the Han Dynasty and the country.
The people of the world are fighting for their lives, and you have a historical mission. I believe that all of you are good, and that everyone can become a general. Please, all heroes." Liu Qi spoke impassionedly, and then turned to the hundred soldiers standing in line.
Bow with clasped fists.
After Liu Qi finished speaking, he suddenly bent down and saluted the soldiers in formation. The soldiers were stunned for a moment and did not react. However, Chen Wu, as if he had experienced this situation before, suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "Strong army, strong army, strong country's army."
Immediately, the soldiers were infected by Chen Wu, and they shook their fists in unison and shouted after Chen Wu, "Strong army, strong army, strong country."
Liu Qi cast an approving look at Chen Wu and agreed with Chen Wu's impromptu slogan, "Strengthen the army. If you don't strengthen the country, what's the point of having an army? In today's world, the princes are rising together, and there is no strong army. Who will blame you?"
?A small army protects the family, a strong army protects the country. This is a very simple truth. If there is no strong army, don’t think about the Three Kingdoms.
It seems that Chen Wu understood Liu Qi's overall view of the nation-state from Liu Qi's words of helping the country and the people. Liu Qi also appreciated Chen Wu a little more, and realized that Chen Wu was not a brave person.
As long as the army has lofty goals, it will achieve lofty achievements. Chen Wu may not understand this truth, but Liu Qi knows that shouting the slogan of a powerful country is very important to enhance the fearless military temperament of the soldiers.
"A strong army, a strong army, a strong country." Liu Qi also raised his arms and shouted, and suddenly the high pitched voice in the valley pierced the air and made the birds and beasts rejoice.
After Liu Qi chanted slogans for a while, he left the school field. Before getting on the horse, he said to the passionate Chen Wu: "Chen Wu, I will go to Jiangling with Chen Wen and E Huan tonight for a while. I will leave the training here to you."
You are."
Chen Wudao: "Don't worry, sir, I know what to do."
Liu Qi then looked at the soldiers who were still standing in line outside the school to watch Liu Qi mount his horse. He also thought about bringing ten injured bronze men with special skills to rob the tomb. He had another idea in his mind, so he went to Chen Wu.
He nodded, expressing his belief that Chen Wu could train a strong army, and then said in a very serious tone: "Chen Wu, please pay attention to something."
Chen Wudao: "Master, please speak."
"Three months later, you have to choose one out of ten. You have to select the thirty soldiers with the best physical fitness, quick reactions, and superior force from the three hundred soldiers to come out and form a guard. They will protect the base camp in peacetime and conduct assaults in wartime.
Maneuverable.”
"Yes." Chen Wu responded resoundingly. Lu Yao knew the horse power. After three months of intensive training, there should be no problem in selecting the thirty soldiers with the strongest military quality. But he still had no problem with just carrying a bluestone and doing 108 push-ups.
Soldiers who can stand unsteadily are the possible candidates for the Guards mentioned by Liu Qi.
"Farewell." Liu Qi got on his horse, took the medicine box handed over by Chen Wu and returned to the base camp.
When he returned to the base camp, Chen Wen had selected ten bronze guards with relatively minor injuries to wait in front of Liu Qi's camp. The ten bronze guards were wearing bronze helmets and armor. It seemed that they had been treated by the miracle doctor Hua Tuo himself.
The bronze man recovered quickly from his injuries.
Chen Wen greeted the young master, and the ten bronze guards also rolled their tongues with great effort: "Young Master."
Liu Qi looked at Chen Wen, and Chen Wen nodded to Liu Qi, indicating that he had informed the bronze guards about protecting the young master.
Liu Qi raised his fist towards the bronze guard and said: "I have to help you all, heroes. In today's troubled times, there are endless wars. This official business is very important and requires the support of all heroes. Without further ado, you go to rest first and leave the city in the evening.
."
"Yes." The faces of the ten bronze men showed excitement. It was an honor for them to be chosen by Chen Wen to go out with the young master. After the battle in front of the young master's house, the ten bronze men had reached a certain tacit understanding.
Know how to cooperate to protect the young master.
The ten bronze figures walked towards the soldiers' resting tent in unison. Liu Qi pointed to his own tent: "Chen Wen, please."
"Sir, please."
Liu Qi entered the camp and asked Chen Wen, "Have everything been arranged?"
Chen Wen replied: "General E has been notified to leave the city at midnight."
"Have you prepared all the tomb robbing tools?" Liu Qi asked directly.
Chen Wen nodded and said: "Don't worry, young master. Kong Zhongni once said that if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. Chisel, spade, spade, axe, pickaxe, upsetting, arrowhead, awl, sickle, hoe,
Knives, bamboo sticks, bamboo baskets, wooden poles, thick hemp ropes, etc. are all available, and a whole carriage has been stored in the weapons warehouse."
Liu Qi looked at Chen Wen appreciatively, thinking that Chen Wen was quite professional and probably a secretive master of tomb robbing. I wonder if the shovel among the tomb robbing tools Chen Wen mentioned was the famous "shovel" commonly used by later generations of tomb robbers.
"Luoyang Shovel"?
"Chen Wen, let's have extra food in the evening and prepare the Bronze Guards for their strong march, along with some jars of good wine. When the King's Sword is unearthed, we will drink with the King of Yue. Go quickly and make preparations to leave the city at midnight." Liu Qi's excited voice.
"Yes." Chen Wen took the order and rushed out of the tent and walked to the kitchen.
